said to be haunted by his ghostship,
which appears as large headless
man with an axe on his shoulder.

The steamer San Blaz, which arrived to-

horrible barbarities practiced in Bolivia

sent to quell some disturbances in the Benz
province. The soldiers had packed their
rifles in a cart drawn by Indians They
were suddenly attacked, and all were killed

in reaching small chapel Here they de-
Tended themselves for three DAYS, and
finally, when their ammunition was ex-
hausted, endeavored to escape during the
night, but were overtaken dubbed to death,

particulars of this heoatomb the Prefect
sent seven missionaries to the Indians to en-
deavor to have them come to terms. 0fthese

to return after they had sworn to assist the
insurrectionary cause. Wilson, the sew
enth, was barbarously murdered. One leg
was tied TO the tail of horse and the other
to another, and the horses were fogged
until they started in opposite directions,
literally tearing the man in half. This
cruelty was practiced on him because he
endeavored to persuade the Indians to be-
come peaceable, and told them they had
no chance against the well-armed whites.
Subsequently the Indians burned down
some valuable plantations, captured cattle
and overturned a number of launches with
people and merchandise in them. The Pre-

one of Tulare's live real estate agents, WIS.,
tied Gait this week, and took bird's-eye
view of the town and surroundings ountry.
The gentleman called at our Office. and in
brief interview stated that he was highly
pleased with the appearance OF the coun-
try. He said our great natural resources
and advantages here are unequaled in the
State, and that the time was not far distant
when we would experience quite boom
in Gait and vicinity. Many land specula.
tors and home-seekers were drifting this
way from Los Angeles and Riverside. he
said, and that the stir now noticeable in
Lodi was only the beginning of great
land boom in this section of the State He
expects, within a short time, to interest
himself in the handling of real estate III
this vicinity, and is about to open branch
agency in San Francisco and local Office
in Gait. He has at present one of the larg-
est real estate offices in Tulare, where he
has done most successful business for the
past sixteen years and was instrumental
in building up that town and the surround
ing country. He will not abandon his bus
iness in Tulare, and his reason for coming
to Gait is simply to get good location to
build up permanent and increasing busi-
ness. The boom, he thinks, has taken g
jump from the southern part of the State
to northern San joaquin and Sacramento
counties, and he wants to follow il right up.

Fish Commissioner Routier, in conversa-

them. If sent to individuals they must
pay the charges of transportation, but if in

the transportation, will be paid. Old trout
were got from Lake Tahoe, and these are

eighty miles north of Redding. The State
appropriated 81 500 at the last session of
the Legislature for Matching both trout and
salmon. Captain Tolman has already
Matched about SOC, coo trout at Lake Tahoe.
These will be put in that lake and streams
and lakes around there. We are going to
have lots of fish in California if we can
keep the Chinese away. At present they
are fishing in our rivers and ali around the
bsy, and catching little fish from half an
inch in length up. The nets they use are
lust like gnnny-sacks. They ought to be
fined heavily whenever caught. Judge
Lawler did the right thing recently. when
he fined one of these Chinese $500.
